A variety of medications for type 2 diabetes: comparison of the efficacy and drawbacks

Treatment for T2DM usually starts with diet changes and exercise because it is largely associated with obesity. Treating T2DM with medications aims to lower blood glucose levels. Medications can stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, increase the sensitivity to insulin, or reduce glucose release and absorption into the bloodstream.

Most of the drugs for T2DM are taken orally apart from insulin, which is normally injected. A couple of different oral medications are often prescribed with insulin, in order to increase their effect.

The aim of this review was to summarize the benefits and harms of several drugs commonly used for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
